PC 339 - Finding Common Ground in Arrow Curiosity with Troy Fowler

This podcast is with Troy Fowler who many people claim is behind the charge in heavy arrow/FOC & penetration debates. After my recent arrow series “truth about arrows” Troy reached out to discuss some of these topics with me. Although many in the industry have found certain subjects or comments from Troy to be abrasive, I told him I would certainly like to talk more on the topics. I also wanted to understand his background because in the end, all I want is for archers to maximize their abilities and some of the “extremes” just don’t translate to accuracy and tuning.    Going into this podcast I didn’t know much about Troy’s background and wanted first hand information from him about some of the arrow opinions he has. We navigated our first long conversation together while he told me his side of curiosity and I explained my theories based on my experiences on the range and in the field. Although some of Troy’s post and comments within the archery community isn’t from the high ground I think he could choose to take, it becomes clear it’s part of what makes him who he is. Troy has made a few comments to me about the appreciation he has for some of the information I have shared and will lead him down some new paths. I like where we left off and hope I can be of help more if asked but also want to do what’s is possible to make sure the industry moves forward, TOGETHER for the betterment of all those who choose life with a bow.
